My backyard This is my first winter since my big chop. I’ve gone through winters as a natural before but I don’t really have any tips from these experiences. I wasn’t on a hair journey back then. Winters are hard on my hair in general. I noticed that during my relaxed hair journey. Here is […]
I pre-pooed at home. She didn’t mind at all. I was happy about that. I know I can always do that. She shampooed with a Nioxin shampoo (I forget which one – I’ll look it up). Then she put a reconstructor and let it sit in my hair no plastic cap, no heat. Rinse that […]
I decided to give up on texlaxing. I’m sorry guys… I really thought it would be something good for my hair, but after a few months, I am noting more bad (breakage at the hairline, permanent frizz at the roots, tangles starting at 3-4 weeks post) than good (thicker hair, stronger hair, loose curls at […]
I am seeing my hair grow, but very slowly. This week I notice breakage when my hair is wet. This happens when I am applying products to my hair like today, I did a honey prepoo and I lost strands. After that, I shampoo and did a light protein and again breakage while applying my […]
I’m still a newbie, but I started running out of the products I bought when I first started last April. So I bought new ones and I have to admit that I am somewhat of a product junkie.When I started my journey I bought Herbal Essence Hello Hydration for my cowashes, prepoos and regular conditionning, […]
I finally tried rollersetting last night after my cowash/protein treatment. It is an art to be mastered. I believe that I can achieve great skills after a few practice runs. I didn’t get all the rollers tight enough and that is a key principle of this method. At least, the rollers stayed on my head. […]
It has indeed been a wonderful journey. I have been looking back at everything, my regimen, my growth/progress, my products, my hairstyles… everything. So far, I am happy, things are going good. My hair isn’t growing super fast, but it’s growing. My biggest breakthrough was learning to minimize breakage. I am not losing as much […]
Yes, I did it… I was supposed to wait 9 weeks, but I cracked because I have a wedding on Saturday and I didn’t like my hair all week last week, so I said what the hay! I did it. I tried to correct my last relaxer so this one was hard. I prepared my […]
I am 6 weeks post and trying to stretch 9 weeks this time. My big problem is that my last relaxer did not take and now the NG (new growth) is unbelievable. I was going to cave in. I prepared my stuff; combs, clips, relaxer kit, oils, shampoos, conditioner, etc. I was getting ready to put my […]
